Leaving (3)

"Please tell me that part is a joke." Luna looked like she wanted to explode. She glared at Cedric who was having fun talking to the guys across the room and was a step away from bursting over with a weapon.

"Luna." Lanni chuckled and grabbed her hand, then turned back to Cheng Yu.

"Did he really not know what was happening, or was that his way of getting out of trouble? Pretend he knows nothing until you give up and drop it?" Lanni asked, equally mad at Cedric.

She nearly couldn't believe it either. "He was serious. He thought I was kidding. That was why he was looking at me like a deer caught in the headlights. He was waiting for me to burst into laughter and drop the prank. That didn't happen, obviously, because it was not a prank."

"What does he have to say for himself?" Luna cracked her knuckles, itching for violence.
